Minute By Minute

The final whistle is blown.Oleg Shatov's first half strike is enough to give Zenit a slender lead to take into the second leg. Despite a much-improved second half display from the hosts they were unable to find the equaliser and will now have to chase the game in the return. The margin of victory could have been greater but both José Rondón and Danny struck the woodwork for André Villas-Boas' team.
